About this map

Jensen Meadows and the surrounding high-country water network of Sublette County are documented in this 2012 study, which captures a landscape defined by historic transit routes and alpine drainage. The map preserves the alignment of the Lander Cutoff Rd and Elkhorn Cutoff Rd, legacy pathways that speak to the region's importance as a corridor for westward movement and later ranching operations.

A complex system of creeks, including Little Sandy Cr, Lander Cr, and the various forks of Squaw Cr, weave through the terrain, punctuated by features like Big Sandy Openings and the distinctly named Block and Tackle Hill. To the northeast, the elevation holds Little Sandy Lake and Sheet Lake, while the Mitchell-Slough provides a look at the hydrographic details near the southern road junctions, offering a precise record of these mountain meadows.
